A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes standing barefoot on a red-covered platform before an ornate gold throne with a red zebra-striped cushion. He wears a white and red flower garland, a rudraksha mala, a gold chain, and a red tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back hair and eyes closed. Behind him stand golden trident-topped staffs and a gold parasol draped with white jasmine strands, and carved figures of seated saints in orange with hands folded flank the scene. In front are silver bowls of fruit and offerings, a silver pot, and oil lamps, with a microphone on a stand at right. Because the page identifies this event as a Gurupoornima celebration and this figure's cues are distinctive, he is described as a person, seated on the throne in a ceremonial setting.
